"Everything went very well. Installation went quickly with no problem. The guys did a fantastic job of removing the old caulking, re-caulking and finishing around" ...More the Windows and door inside and outside. And, this was in January!

"Workmen appeared on time, worked hard for the 2.5 days needed. They covered furniture and cleaned before leaving. They were very pleasant to have come in to work.

Whether it’s to provide security, protection or privacy, interior and exterior doors are an important part to your home. Learn about the different types of doors to determine which is best for your home.

Steel doors offer increased protection for your home while also providing a range of options for style and color. These doors are becoming a popular option for homeowners seeking a unique front entryway.

The reason you're having a hard time getting clear information is because there are hundreds of companies saying their window is the best. There are probably millions of different features you can choose to have for your windows and in price ranges from $169-$1200 (per double-hung window).

I've been in the business for 15 years and have seen many different window products from many different dealers and manufacturers. This all comes down to: "what's important for you and your home?" If you want a strong warranty from a company who has a full-time service department to give you piece of mind and service your windows should needs be, or are you looking at only those companies who offer true wood interior windows that you can paint or stain to match the home decor? Whatever is your hot-button, then that's where you want to start.

I would recommend you first choose how you want your new windows to look. Wood-interior with vinyl clad is only offered by certain companies, while there is a vinyl woodgrain finish to give you similar results without the maintenance. If you're only looking for a white interior and don't want the maintenance, a fiberglass or vinyl window would be the best choice from what is offered in the market today (vinyl will be less expensive - not necessarily cheaper quality). If you are going to change out a window to a french door and a door to a window, then you WILL NEED to find a contractor with some carpentry experience. Some companies will tell you upfront that they do not handle those sorts of remodeling projects due to the complexity and time it would take to get it complete.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to personally help you with your project as we work in the New England Area. However, if you wish to talk further, please feel free to email me at: sven@ritewindow.com and I'll be happy to let you know our prices for what we offer so you can compare and hopefully find a similar company to do the work for you near the Austin area.

For a broken window (or leaking seal in multi-pane unit), for a standard roughly 2x3 foot window, can run from low of about $75-125 for single pane to more like $200-300 range for triple pane, depending on construction and any special ultraviolet or heat reflective coatings. If a removeable window unit, of course cheaper to remove it and take to replacement glass place then have them come out, measure glass size, order glass unit, then come back to install.

If taking in yourself, commonly they can do single-pane in an hour or two, but count on a week or so typically for sealed double or triple pane unit to come in, so you will have to seal the opening in the interim. That is an advantage of having them come out - they measure and determine type of unit on first visit and can seal with tape and plastic sheeting (if you have not already done that), then come back with new unit and install a week or two down the road - but you are not stuck with an opening in the wall for a long time.

Ed came from the office to look and measure shower. Ed was very knowledgeable about shower doors. Install went great. Cleaned up area, informed us about Eduru Shield registration, told us how to clean glass. Install went very well.”

From the word go, the same word comes to mind. Flawless. From the first time we met with

to consult about choices and pricing and timeline for installing our new windows, every encounter was pure perfection. At every turn

and all the staff made us feel as if we were there only customer and concern. ...More By the end of the project, we actually felt as if we were a part of the family. When anything came up that wasn't expected,

and his crew were on top of it and told us about the resolution before we could even ask. They promised and delivered superior service. The installation crew took the ultimate care and respected our home as if it was their own. The project seem to go so smoothly and quickly! Again, the word the comes to mind when describing

For 30 years this door has been misaligned and had to be opened and shot pushing really hard with your shoulder. The door was just not quite home right but it wasn't bad enough to fix until I decided why am I leaning on this door so hard every time to open and close it.... The reason was is I did not know or trust anyone to fix it without just ...More telling me to get a new door and frame. A contractor friend of mine told me to call

and have him come over and look at the door. This other contractor told me that

was one of the best door people in town and was very honest and high integrity and does quality work.
I highly recommend

if you have any door that doesn't feel right or you know needs fixing but doors can be tough let me tell you

will give you honest advice and if you could fix it he will.

came over to my house on time was very friendly and respectful of my house. I showed him the door in about 10 seconds he told me the fundamental problem and he said he thought he could fix it in about an hour and that he would charge $75 for that hour. I could not have been happier with his work and that $75 fee. If you have any door problem call

The gentleman installing the door really knew what he was doing and did an excellent job. My only issue with Universal was that they originally scheduled the job for 2/25 but rescheduled for 2/27 and arrived 3 hours earlier than I was told so I was lucky to be there, but worth the bother. Great job at a very reasonable price. I shopped around and ...More was surprised at how much the companies that don't manufacture and install were charging. These guys do both and only do doors. I would definitely recommend them.”

“

was very responsive and professional. His quote was in line with others I had received. They had to order the materials but his estimate on when the work could be completed was in line with what happened and he called me 2 days before to schedule the work. The job only took 1 day and he had one person with him, they worked quickly, ...More quietly and cleaned up after. All the trim around both the door and window was replaced and looks great. I would definitely recommend them in the future.”

knows doors! He did a great job. Fixed a door that was stuck and would not open, replaced a door that was defective, and adjusted several that would not stay open or wouldn't stay closed.
Very pleased with the quality of his work!”
